Explanation:

Each entry links the biological term to the meaning of its word parts (prefixes/suffixes), based on Greek/Latin linguistic roots common in biology terminology.

1. DNA: No common affix provided; it is an acronym for Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
2. Somatic: "somat-" comes from Greek meaning "body".
3. Gamete: "gam-" comes from Greek meaning "marriage/union".
4. Daughter Cell: No common affix provided; it describes cells produced by cell division.
5. Haploid: "haplo-" comes from Greek meaning "single/simple".
6. Diploid: "diplo-" comes from Greek meaning "double/twofold".
7. Mitosis: "mito-" comes from Greek meaning "thread" (referring to chromosome appearance).
8. Meiosis: "fissio-" (related root) means "split/divide"; meiosis refers to cell division that reduces chromosome number.
9. Chromatin: "chrom-" comes from Greek meaning "color" (stains easily for microscopy).
10. Chromatid/Sister Chromatids: "chrom-" comes from Greek meaning "color" (stains easily for microscopy).
11. Chromosome: "chrom-" means "color"; "-some" comes from Greek meaning "body".
12. Homologous: "homo-" comes from Greek meaning "same"; "-logous" comes from Greek meaning "proportion/related".

Answer:

1. DNA: (No affix provided; acronym for Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
2. Somatic: somat- = body
3. Gamete: gam- = marriage/union
4. Daughter Cell: (No affix provided; cell division product)
5. Haploid: haplo- = single/simple
6. Diploid: diplo- = double/twofold
7. Mitosis: mito- = thread
8. Meiosis: fissio- = split/divide
9. Chromatin: chrom- = color
10. Chromatid/Sister Chromatids: chrom- = color
11. Chromosome: chrom- = color; -some = body
12. Homologous: homo- = same; -logous = proportion/related
